Amateur sports clubs’ network, Pitchero, has unveiled further details of its latest product offering, Pitchero Play, which aims to make it easier for fans and players to capture instant video highlights across non league and community sports.

Powered through a digital app, Pitchero Play enables clubs to capture instant highlight events that can be published within 60 seconds of an event across selected club website and social media channels.

Registered clubs can receive a hardware package that includes a Samsung video capture device featuring 10x optical zoom, a tripod and a custom built app that allows users to capture their match highlights and updates.

The launch of Pitchero Play comes at a time of growth for the brand, which is currently expanding both its staff and technology network, as well as its PR offering, with the recent appointment of The Playbook.

Founded by Sport Industry NextGen Leader Mark Fletcher and entrepreneur Jon Milsom, Pitchero was developed to answer the needs of amateur and grassroots teams who lacked the digital platform to organise and grow their community.

Pitchero now services more than 70,000 sports teams, accounting for over one million active participants across football, rugby, hockey and cricket.

Mark Fletcher, CEO of Pitchero said: “Participation in grassroots and amateur sports is incredibly important to the future of sports teams and athletes here in the UK. We want Pitchero to be the network that allows clubs to focus their efforts on growing participation and engaging the next generation of sports stars. By making the technology work for the club we want to help them flourish and raise the level of grassroots sport across the country.”

The launch of Pitchero Play is the latest in the line of product developments that will look to expand the brand’s customer footprint both in the UK and international markets. This is linked to a planned staff recruitment push, furthering the brand’s commitment as an employer both in Yorkshire and throughout the UK.
